This was a hike we had never done before but heard it was about 5 miles round trip.
It was a cool morning to start but we quickly warmed up. There was a point where the trees cleared a little bit and Dave pointed out the ridge on the mountain across from us. We were already getting a little tired and he said "Look, that's where we're going!" One more mountain to climb!
About halfway up, Benny stopped us all in our tracks. No one else had noticed there was a pretty large snake passing right in front of us.
It felt great to finally get to the top. I wasn't sure we were going to make it!
When we got back we actually realized it was closer to 6 miles we had hiked! Needless to say, there were some naps immediately following...
Then mom and Dave cooked an amazing Easter dinner a day early - ham, salmon, deviled eggs, and lots of great sides.
The weather was nice enough we decided to eat out on the deck - my favorite :)
Then we played Kan Jam - a game Katie and Chris got my brother for Christmas. It was so fun! Definitely a great game to bring to the beach.
We also played cards that night - my brother sat through the entire two hour game! I think Hand and Foot is the guys' favorite card game. We had a wonderful breakfast the next morning and then headed back to spend some time with Eric's parents. I didn't get too many pictures but we also were able to spend some time outside and of course, have another amazing ham dinner. It's about the only time of year we eat ham so Benny certainly wasn't complaining.
It was a great weekend with family and a great way to kick-off Spring!
